(Saukville, Wisconsin) Thursday, July 13, 2006 - When the green flag drops
on this weekend's American Le Mans Series event at Miller Motorsports Park,
outside of Salt Lake City, Utah.a familiar sound will be absent..that of
the 3 rotor Mazda, which powers the B-K Motorsports LMP 2 entry.
Unfortunately, damage sustained in the incident during the first hour of
the New England Grand Prix at Lime Rock is such that the team could not get
the car repaired in time.

"We have been working significant hours to get things repaired in
time, and we did not want to take any chances with the components on the
car that have been hard to get replaced quickly.we simply could not get
some of the necessary spares in our hands fast enough," commented Marcus
Haselgrove, Team Manager/Technical Director for B-K Motorsports.

B-K kicked off the 2006 campaign with a 5th place finish at the 12
Hours of Sebring, followed by a runner-up finish on the temporary circuit
in Houston. A week later, a 4th place finish at Mid-Ohio had Jamie Bach
and Guy Cosmo sitting third in the LMP 2 points standings heading into the
Lime Rock event. Unfortunately, the Lime Rock incident handed the team
their first DNF of the season..and only their second DNF in 13 ALMS
starts.dating back to April 2005 when the team debuted the 3 rotor Mazda.

"We talked with KUMHO and Road & Track and we all agreed that taking
our time and having everything in place is the only scenario. We are
making plans to rejoin the ALMS as soon as possible..and we can all hear
the echos of the Mazda rotary power again," added Haselgrove.
